I was reading the paper today ...although it was yesterdays paper that according to a study done Frontier Center For Public Policy that computers in schools harm early learning. They also say that it was only a waste of time and that children should spend more time with learning basic litercy skills. I teach Nursery and I have two computers in my class....I wonder if this true?....My students don't go on the computer only when they ask for it....there is no schedule times.

I have been spending alot of time trying to get familiar with my laptop. I find it very hard to get used to it. it is harder to type rather then the regular keyboard. I have looked at youtube videos and I have a facebook account. I enjoy Facebook. It seems I have less to say each time I blog lately yet I have learned more and more each week.

its been a long time but I guess it was worth it. I enjoyed the nice long break.
I received my laptop on Friday and it was a blast watching my two 6 year old grand-daughters playing with it. They have some knowledge on how to work a computer but a laptop was quite different for them. I was really surprised on how well they caught on so fast....its amazing, ....this think called technology.

getting the hang of it

I think I'm getting the hang of it. I knew I would but I figured It would take time. I was very interested in the smartboard because I will be getting one in my classroom within the next few weeks. I hope I will learn alot from it. I am eager to learn from this devise in order to teach my little ones a step towards modern technology.

This is my second blogg. I am feeling a bit intimitated because I kinda feel lost. I have been watching my son with texting and he just got the feature added on a week or so ago, yet he is typing away with his thumbs like he has been doing it for years. He can sit and eat while his phone is there on the table right beside him humming. This world is really moving fast and I am really trying hard to catch up....unsuccessfully. All I hope is I do make some progress and that I will be able to make difference within my classroom using todays technology.

This is a course I don't think I will be very good at. I am a slow typer, I use 2 fingers to type all my work. The thing I find interesting in this course is how much a person can learn with the art of digital computing. I know I will be needing alot of help from all you geniuses and I hope you will be patient with me. Looking forward to working with all of you.
